  Abstract:  What means Biomedical Research? Biomedical Research or experimental medicine consists of basic and applied research aimed at increasing medical knowledge and understanding [1]. It has two main domains: preclinical research and clinical research. Preclinical research aims are to generate a better understanding of diseases and new strategies for treatments. Almost all this research are carried out on animals. Clinical research aim is to assess new treatments for diseases. This research is also named clinical trial and it is carried out in a group of human participants. Because of some risks and bad consequences of this practice, questions are how to find human participants and how to motivate them to be subjects in research? Or, who shoulld be human participants in research? When we think about Biomedical Research or Experimentation, usually we think in negative terms, like discrimination, violation of rights or ethical rules, something bad, complex and quite difficult to be well understood.
